Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head

And as I climb into an empty bed

Oh well, enough saidI know it′s over still I cling

I don't know where else I can go

Over and over...

Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head

See the sea wants to take me,

The knife wants to slit me

Do you think you can help me

Sad veiled bride please be happy

Handsome groom give her room

Loud loutish lover treat her kindly

Though she needs you

More than she loves you

And I know it′s over, still I cling

I don't know where else I can go

Over and over...

I know it's over

And it never really began

But in my heart it was so real

And she even spoke to me and said

If you′re so funny,

Why are you on your own tonight?

And if you′re so clever

Why are you on your own tonight?

And if you're so very entertaining

Why are you on your own tonight?

And if you′re so very good looking

Why do you sleep alone tonight?

I know

'Cos tonight is just like any other night

That′s why you're on your own tonight

With your triumphs and your charms

While they′re in each other's arms

It's so easy to laugh

It′s so easy to hate

It takes strength to be gentle and kind

Over and over...

It′s so easy to laugh

It's so easy to hate

It takes guts to be gentle and kind

Over and over...

Love is natural and real

But not for you my love

Not tonight my love

Love is natural and real

But not for such as you and I my love

Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head

Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head

Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head

Oh yes, oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head

Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head

Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head

Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head

Oh Mother, I can feel
